Probably is KDE.  That's another of it's "features".  Try the standard 
fix:.  In windows the standard fix for anything is to reboot.  In KDE it's:

1.  rename ~./kde2 (or whatever it's called - kde, kde2, etc.)
2.  clean out /tmp
3.  Remove the DCOP files in your home directory - the ones that have your 
host name in them.
4.  Restart KDE.  It will create a new ~./kde2 and hopefully things will 
work.  Then you can copy the share/apps and share/config files from your 
saved directory.

If that doesn't work (and I had one time it did not) I had to create a new 
user and copy over various files dealing with dcop, and the networking.
